Both state governments and the Congress under the Articles of Confederation shared the power to levy taxes. While Congress could request funds from the states, it lacked the authority to impose taxes directly, relying instead on state cooperation for financial support. This sharing of power highlighted the limitations and challenges of the Articles, as states often did not fulfill their tax obligations to Congress.
